NeuroBoricuas: A Culturally Rooted Approach to Neuroscience Outreach and Research Training Open
Puerto Rico's cultural identity, shaped by Taíno heritage, Spanish colonization, and US governance, emphasizes family, music, food, and collective participation. Drawing on these traditions, we developed NeuroBoricuas, a grassroots neurosc…

Stress, associative learning, and decision-making Open
Exposure to acute and chronic stress has significant effects on the basic mechanisms of associative learning and memory. Stress can both impair and enhance associative learning depending on type, intensity, and persistence of the stressor,…

From Isolated Emotional Memories to Their Competition During Conflict Open
Aversive or rewarding experiences are remembered better than those of lesser survival significance. These emotional memories, whether negative or positive, leave traces in the brain which can later be retrieved and strongly influence how w…

Opposing contributions of GABAergic and glutamatergic ventral pallidal neurons to motivational behaviours Open
The ventral pallidum (VP) is critical for invigorating reward seeking and is also involved in punishment avoidance, but how it contributes to such opposing behavioural actions remains unclear. Here we show that GABAergic and glutamatergic …

NeuroBoricuas: a novel approach for incorporating neuroscience education in schools of Puerto Rico Open
Puerto Rico is in dire need of transforming its education system to counter the current economic recession and ensure a future with talented Puerto Ricans at the forefront of scientific research and technology development. Here we present …

Active avoidance requires inhibitory signaling in the rodent prelimbic prefrontal cortex Open
Much is known about the neural circuits of conditioned fear and its relevance to understanding anxiety disorders, but less is known about other anxiety-related behaviors such as active avoidance. Using a tone-signaled, platform-mediated av…

Persistent active avoidance correlates with activity in prelimbic cortex and ventral striatum Open
Persistent avoidance is a prominent symptom of anxiety disorders and is often resistant to extinction-based therapies. Little is known about the circuitry mediating persistent avoidance. Using a recently described platform-mediated active …
